Mechanical Engineering

专业介绍

The Sc.B. program in Mechanical Engineering (ME) has a long tradition of excellence at Brown. ME is one of the most versatile engineering disciplines, as it explores a wide range of systems spanning fluids and solids. Students from this concentration learn the Science of motion, designing and analyzing systems that shape our World: from high-precision nanomechanical machines to large-scale aerospace systems.

At Brown, ME students carve unique paths leveraging computational, analytical, or experimental methodologies with other areas of interest, in the spirit of the open curriculum. They become distinguished scholars, engineering innovators, and management leaders.

The curriculum in ME is intended to provide students with a broad interdisciplinary foundation complemented by specialized training in mechanical systems and fluid/thermal systems.

Student Goals

Students in this concentration will:

• Acquire foundational principles in Newtonian mechanics, including relevant mathematical and scientific skills
• Identify, formulate, and creatively solve mechanical engineering problems that address the future needs of society
• Analyze and design novel machines/structures or improve existing ones, applying solid, fluid, or thermal mechanics
• Complete a capstone project integrating concepts from the Mechanical Engineering concentration
